Pinenuts to the left of me…

Sierras to the right…

Here I am stuck in the middle of you. And, so happy to be here! It’s so hard to keep the smile off my face.
In case you got an earworm from this post I’ve included this song to help you out of it. 😀

Beautiful as always!
Thank you so much, Lynn!!
These are gorgeous! I think I’ll go for sunrise tomorrow. It will be the last day it rises so late! 🙂
Thank you so much, Denise!! I hope you had a glorious sunrise this morning! It was pretty here, I was out photographing it too. 😍
It was so-so. The prettiest part was over the less interesting part of the Cimarron’s.
That happens here a lot too! At least we tried though!! 😀
Well, you certainly put a smile on my face, too. Gorgeous!
I’m so happy you liked the images, Jennie! Thank you!!
You’re welcome, Deborah!
Great choice of song to accompany your beautiful photos. What a gorgeous place.
Thank you so much, Jean! We love it here.
Love your photos! Those colors are amazing. I listen to this song and I immediately think of Grace & Frankie. Can’t help but smile
Thank you so much, Ally! 😀
Pretty in pink. I know that song but to avoid the earworm you mentioned I didn’t click to hear it.
😀
Ha! I thought of this song immediately after reading the first caption. 😉 Glorious photos!
Thank you so much, Manja!! I hope you have a lovely week-end.
It’s always good to be happy about where you live! Majestic mountains.
It is isn’t it. I love this view. Thank you so much, Judy!
Gorgeous skies! 🙂
It was beautiful. It had been a long time since we last had a really lovely rosy sunrise.
Thank you so much, Pit!
Unfortunately, I am too lazy to get out of bed early enough for sunrieses. 😦
😀
Sky pics can be so difficult to capture well. The colors are often elusive. But you nailed it here, Deborah. Nice work!
Thank you so much, Paul! I’m glad you like the images.
Love the pics, and the tune surely brings back memories! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful 😊
Thank you, Belinda! 😀
Beautiful views. Deborah. I thought of the song too.
😀 Thank you, John!

Here’s another earworm: “It’s a Beautiful Morning” by The Rascals. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykLVZR7RG_w) Pinenuts makes me think of the fans of Chris Pine who are called by the same name. 🙂
Gorgeous shots. I hope the rest of your day was as beautiful.
I’m nursing a nasty head cold, so I was indoors the rest the day.
I love this song too! I think they get their name Pinenuts from the Pinyon Pines that grow in the range.
🙁 Sorry about the cold. Hope you feel better soon!!
Thank you! I can breathe through my nose now so, I’m getting there!
Hurrah!! That’s certainly great progress.
These are stunning photos, Deborah.
My mind went straight to that song. Thanks for including it.
Thank you, Dan! We’ve been having some beautiful mornings lately.
The sierras are gorgeous.
They are and they make me so happy. Thanks, Cheryl!
A new day….a new beginning. Glorious sunrise, Deborah!! And thanks for the giggle!!
Thank you, Donna! 😀
A beautiful morning and yes a beautiful way to start the day, such an inspiring place to be in the middle of Deborah. Always a buzz to hear those songs again, I always love the bell addition in that song. 🙂
Thank you so much, Ashley!
Ah! Stealers Wheel with singer Gerry Rafferty. This is a good song! (The other hit song they had here in the Netherlands was: Late again. (1972, half a century ago , hush, don’t say that. 🙂 ) The pictures are gorgeous, Deborah!
That song you mentioned doesn’t sound familiar I’ll look it up. Thanks, Peter!
